Driver arrested after chase in New Hampshire
HILL, N.H. – A driver was arrested after a police chase and foot pursuit on Saturday in New Hampshire.
A trooper was monitoring traffic on Route 3A in Hill when a 1985 Chevy pickup truck passed her, allegedly driving 82 mph in a 50 mph zone.
When the trooper tried to stop the driver, later identified as 36-year-old John Carter, he allegedly stopped, did a burnout, and sped off.
The trooper followed Carter through multiple roads in Hill. He eventually crashed into a snowbank and ran off.
After a brief foot pursuit, the trooper arrested Carter on several charges including operating after certification as a habitual offender, reckless conduct with a deadly weapon, and possession of a controlled drug.
Carter is expected to be arraigned Monday in Merrimack Superior Court.
